The energy needed to climb this ladder is exactly the same as that needed to climb a real ladder. They do make modern versions of this, but normally slanted 30-45 degrees. Looks like it uses a hydraulic pump with an adjustable flow valve to regulate the resistance. Yes, I agree with Tib.

In the first case, energy goes into the "adjustable brake", in the latter, in potential energy.

You just have to push the belt backwards as you stay in one position, which is much easier than actually running normal. Treadmills are also too easy to use.

The climber doesn't have to lift his own weight to a higher level, just push the ladder to a lower level. And the brake being adjusted according to the climber's weight means the ladder would have to rotate very easily. Otherwise he would find himself climbing over the top :-) Actually this would be a lot easier than climbing a ladder.

Getting one's hand caught in those uncovered sprockets might hurt. Good idea, but looks like the ladder needs to be a little longer.
